We did it!

In our newsletter on Friday, we asked for your support in our campaign to convince the Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond to return the VAT charged on our Tommies.

If you prefer to buy in person or just want to make sure you get a pin or a Tommy in time for Remembrance Day, pop into your local store and pick one up!
